Does Quantum Entanglement Define Our Existence?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the question of whether quantum entanglement can explain human existence. The original poster expresses a newfound interest in quantum mechanics after watching a PBS Space-Time episode and tentatively concludes that quantum mechanics might hold the answer. However, a response clarifies that while quantum mechanics (QM) provides foundational insights into the universe, it does not directly explain human behavior. The response emphasizes the need for additional layers of scientific, psychological, and socio-political theories to understand human actions, ultimately leading to the closure of the thread due to forum rules.

hello: I don’t know where to post this and I think this is as good a place as any here.
question: does quantum entanglement explain how we are?

I am having trouble Even trying to express the question above. But, I just viewed PBS space-time series 6 episode eight: “how do quantum states manifest in the classical world?”

Having viewed that, and not having any advanced physics background at all, I’m inclined to answer my own above question as: “yes.”

what do you think? Thank you.

Ultimately, QM explains everything (except Garvity, of course!). But, it doesn't explain human behaviour directly. You need many layers of scientific, psychological and socio-political theories for that.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
